It fits easily and securely to a tow bar. And holds two bikes no problem. I can actually hold myself up on the frame and it doesn’t move. I was even able to do some tricep dips. So it gave me the confidence the frame was strong enough to drive with bikes on the back. You just need to find the right angles to put the bikes on. Different bikes will have to be adjusted to suit. I put the bikes facing opposite ways so the handle bars don’t hit off each other. I need to remove the seat on one of the bikes. The tyres are high enough off the ground and the exhaust doesn’t seem to cause any problems on the tyres. It takes seconds to install the rack to the tow bar. And about 5 minutes to fit the bikes to the rack. The rubber clips are safe enough to hold the bike to the frame. I was sceptical at first but very happy with the product after using it. I can recommend this for anyone with two bikes and a tow bar. Review: Stunning piece of well designed kit!! - Like many others on here, I bought this bike carrier with some trepidation as I wasn't entirely convinced that a carrier that grips onto a towbar would be stable and strong enough to securely carry my new £800 two-wheeled-torture-contraption. So when it (very quickly) arrived in the post, I immediately unpacked it and set about attaching it to my car's towbar. The carrier works in a sort of scissor-action and quite simply clamps to the towbar's ball. The first time I attached it I was astonished at how strong it's grip on the bar is; I was pulling at it as hard as I could and it simply wouldn't budge! Very impressive and amazingly quick - the process of attaching my removable towbar to the car, getting the Thule carrier out of the boot and clamping it on could probably be done in under 60 seconds - it's seriously that quick. Attaching a bike to the carrier is also a simple process, although it took a few attempts to get it right. My bike (A Revolution Triad 1.0, bought from Edinburgh Bicycle, plug, plug!) has a bit of non-standard frame when it comes to where the downtube meets the fork/top tube, so the rubber strap has to stretch diagonally around the downtube, which was a little tricky at first but I've got it down to a fine art now. It should be capable of fitting bikes with chunky frames too, although I'm unsure if full-suspension bikes with outlandish frames would fit. Bear in mind that an adapter is required for women's bike frames too, and that it's not suited to kid's bikes. If you've got any concerns about your car's paintwork being damaged by this carrier, stop worrying now - it holds the carrier far enough away from the back of my Audi A4 saloon so that even the end of the closest handlebar (and sharp pedals) comes nowhere near. The carrier's grip on the towbar is such that there's no chance of it moving while in transit either. If I were to make any negative points about the carrier, I'd probably mention that the strap that's probably intended to wrap around the wheels to stop them spinning is ridiculously short - it doesn't even wrap around both the wheels on my bike alone, let alone a second one! Another is that the carrier comes with no means of locking it, despite it having a hole in the frame to do just that. However, these are very minor quibbles - if you've got a decent Krypton lock with a cable loop, you'll be able to lock the lot of it to the carrier. Remember to remove any QR bits though! Summing up... + Folds up nice and small so it takes up barely any boot space + Simple & seriously quick to fit + Very secure and stable - even at 70+ MPH on the motorway + Holds bike nice and clearly away from the boot + No chance of it damaging either your car's or your bike's paintwork + Rubber straps are easily replaced if broken - Supplied tethering strap far too short - Doesn't come with a lock Thumbs up all round! ## Features - Bikes are secured to the bike rack with soft rubber straps - Use Thule Bike Frame Adapter 982 for fitting of bikes with non-standard frames (e.g. ladies’ bikes, BMXs, downhill bikes) - Folds flat for easy storage and handling - Pre-assembled, no tools required ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001N3L4D0 | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | 15,808 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) 16 in Bike Carriers | | Brand | Thule | | Brand Name | Thule | | Colour | Silver | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Country Of Origin | Poland | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,921 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07313020042558 | | Included Components | Quick access interface | | Is Foldable | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 57.4 x 52.8 x 26 centimetres | | Item Highlight | One size, Silver, Load capacity: 30 kg,Max bike weight: 15 kg | | Item Type Name | Transporting & Storage | | Item Weight | 4 kg | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 57.4 x 52.8 x 26 centimetres | | Item weight | 4 kg | | Load Capacity | 30 kg | | Manufacturer | Thule GmbH | | Manufacturer Part Number | 970003 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 2 year manufacturer | | Material | Man Made | | Material Type | Man Made | | Model Number | TH9700 | | Mounting Type | Hitch Ball | | Number of Items | 2 | | OEM Equivalent Part Number | 970003 | | Unit Count | 2.0 count | | Vehicle service type | Car | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Thule - **Colour:** Silver - **EU Spare Part Availability Duration:** 5 Years - **Is foldable:** Yes - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 57.4 x 52.8 x 26 centimetres - **Item weight:** 4 kg - **Load capacity:** 30 kg - **Material:** Man Made - **Mounting type:** Hitch Ball - **Vehicle service type:** Car ## Images ![TH9700 Xpress 2-Bike, Silver/Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611Z06jkGoL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will it fit a BMW 240i?** A: Same answer as offered umpteen times previously, this bike rack attaches to a tow hitch ball only, not directly to the vehicle. So any vehicle equipped with a tow hitch 2” ball will work as long as there is clear space at the rear of vehicle directly above the trailer tow hitch ball. **Q: Does this have a 'tilt' feature so you can open the car boot when attached?** A: No it doesn't tilt but it is easy enough to take off and put back on. **Q: Can I fit this to the towbar of my motor home** A: It fits all toe - bars as far as I'm aware (doesn't move at all) good job **Q: Will it carry a e bike plus a mountain bike** A: Remove the battery of the ebike then weigh it before adding to bike rack. You can use a luggage scale for weighing. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good for anyone with two bikes and a tow bar. *by C***D on 10 April 2021* I wasn’t sure how this was going to work but I read the reviews and decided to buy it.
